Please Note: The National Hispanic University was approved to participate in a U.S. Department of Education experiment that will randomly select eligible students enrolled in the Translation and Interpretation certificate program to receive a Pell Grant. Known as the Experimental Sites Initiative (ESI) Federal Pell Grant Program, participating institutions, like NHU, will award a limited amount of Pell Grant dollars to students eligible to receive Pell Grants. The purpose is to help the federal government determine if it should make changes to the Pell Grant Program's eligibility requirements (e.g., allowing students with bachelor's degrees to receive a Pell Grant for enrollment in short-term vocational programs or allowing very short-term training programs to be Pell Grant eligible). NHU will seek consent from eligible students prior to participation in the random lottery selection process.
